Lol. This is a guy who knows how to live. What is it with the people of Maine and writing? Are you all intellectuals? I thought that was Massachusetts. Anyway, I love where you went with this little gem. Thanks.

Thanks, Eean. We're just rednecks up here in the boonies.

I guess we're all just rednecks. I just have a funny name.

Had to give you a six star. Your little poem of twenty syllable certainly shows the picture even without your great picture choice. I now hope you add on more to your poem. All the best in the contest

Thanks, Nana. My run has turned into a jog since old age crept up on me.

WE don't say 'old' how about 'senior' 'retire'

Yes, I guess that's why I found the gym much easier to negotiate in inclement weather, running on the streets when there are clouds, wind and discomfort gathering makes one resolutions...?, beautifully written Pal, good luck, blessings Roy

Thanks, Roy. COVID kept me out of the gym.

That's true
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I should think so too, Paul! That is definitely the time to stay warm between the sheets! A great, rhythmic little verse to match the pace of the run you won't be taking! Good luck! Debbie

Thanks, Debbie. It's getting harder every year to step out the door for that early morning "jog".
Comment from DonandVicki
I used to be a runner, ten k's was my thing, but now at seventy seven I do not need much of an excuse to stay in bed. I liked the 20 syllable poem of your's.

Thanks DonandVicki. I also used to run a lot of 10K's. I just turned 80. Every once in awhile I will jog through a 5K.

Thanks, Katiemae. These short ones are a little tough for me.
Comment from Daniel Milton Taylor
Hey Paul, you have summed up my feelings about how I'll "check myself" when there's at least that depth of snow "outside my house". I will forego any reason of being out there that isn't crucial. God has blessed me with a nice sized basement that I can get my morning run in. As a matter of fact, He's blessed me with the ability to "run in place". In 20 syllables, you've written an entire conversation and explanation of how "some things can truly wait". Lol. Take care, Daniel

Thanks, Daniel. I used to get out there every morning - regardless of the weather, but that was 50 years ago.

Yep, time brings about a change. The snow is the same, but our body might change our mind about being out in it. Lol. Take care.

It sounds like a Shakespeare verse but a very sullen one that I did enjoy reading accompany by the picture...Nice and right to the point. Good job and keep it up

Comment from Brenda Strauser
A nice 20 syllable poem. I would rather stay in bed when there is snow on the ground. The syllable count is correct. Nice rhymes.

Thanks, Brenda. I can't seem to stay in bed in the morning, but I can usually find an excuse to not run.
